Charlie Mike

The mission of Charlie Mike is to save the lives of those still carrying the unseen wounds of combat, one veteran at a time. Our vision is to help Soldiers, Marines, Airmen, and Sailors help one another “Continue the Mission of Life,” in whatever form that may be.

Charlie Mike will save lives through a multi-faceted approach to help each veteran “continue the mission,” to never quit, and to address their daily challenges. This approach is based on three pillars that focus on creating stability for each veteran we serve. The three pillars look to improve mental and emotional stability, stability in daily living, and stability by serving others. Our Canine Battle Buddy and Equine Therapy programs, and future service programs, aim to provide that stability for veterans in their personal lives, with a renewed sense of purpose.

Charlie Mike operates out of a 40+acre facility in Liberty that provides the base for our Canine Battle Buddies and Equine Therapy programs. We currently have space for eight rescue dogs at any given time. We have two full-time and one part-time dog trainers on site and a part-time equestrian instructor. This number of dog trainers ensures we can train each dog to a highly-qualified level, provide individual, one-on-one support to veterans who visit the facility for their initial training sessions with their canine battle buddy, and ongoing support post-adoption. We are growing our volunteer base to assist with administrative capacity building as well as physical upkeep of the property to maintain a high proportion of donations applied to direct programs.
